How do I renew an expired SSL certificate?

Fault phenomenon
For some versions of the TOS system, you may experience an expired tnas.link or terra-master.com certificate and you may not know how you can renew it.

countermeasures
1. For terra-master.com SSL certificate expiry, please go to TOS > Control Panel > Security > SSL Certificate, select “terra-master.com” SSL certificate and click on the "Renew" or " ♻️" button. If the update does not work, please check your internet connection to ensure that your TNAS has access to the internet. (you can check if the gateway is correct or try changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8)

2. Please update to the latest version.

3. In the case of an expired tnas.link SSL certificate, it is possible that your TOS version is higher than TOS 4.2.17 but still shows an expired certificate. Please download and following the instructions to update the SSL certificate: https://download3.terra-master.com/Docu ... icate.docx

Hi,

For expired tnas.link SSL certificate, I have follow the procedure https://download3.terra-master.com/Docu ... icate.docx
I just use the standard Windows 11 open ssh in C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH
ssh Login@IP -p 9222

But at the execution of command mv in openSSH I receive a permission denied....

***@***:~$ mv /etc/ssls/\*.tnas.link.crt /etc/nginx/ssl/tnas.link.crt
mv: overwrite '/etc/nginx/ssl/tnas.link.crt'? y
mv: can't rename '/etc/ssls/*.tnas.link.crt': Permission denied
***@***:~$ mv /etc/ssls/\*.tnas.link.crt /etc/nginx/ssl/tnas.link.crt
mv: overwrite '/etc/nginx/ssl/tnas.link.crt'? yes
mv: can't rename '/etc/ssls/*.tnas.link.crt': Permission denied

BUT it work with sudo:
***@***:~$ sudo mv /etc/ssls/\*.tnas.link.crt /etc/nginx/ssl/tnas.link.crt
Password:
***@***:~$ sudo mv /etc/ssls/\*.tnas.link.key /etc/nginx/ssl/tnas.link.key

After the tnas need to be restarted to take in account the certificat.

I have been trying the instructions above, however when I type in the commands for the global SSL I'm getting this response; I'm not super familiar with this coding language so any help is appreciated.

Code: Select all

BusyBox v1.23.2 (2019-11-27 12:50:58 CST) multi-call binary.

Usage: mv [-fin] SOURCE DEST
or: mv [-fin] SOURCE... DIRECTORY

Rename SOURCE to DEST, or move SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY

        -f      Don't prompt before overwriting
        -i      Interactive, prompt before overwrite
        -n      Don't overwrite an existing file
Also, is it required to set up the Chinese certificate if I'm using this globally (within Canada) only?

I don’t understand your operation. What is your TOS system version? Which certificate has expired? Have you followed the operation documentation step by step? At which step did the problem occur?
